Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) for Myopia Control
Clear Vision. No Glasses. No Daytime Contact Lenses.
Orthokeratology, commonly known as Ortho-K, is a non-surgical vision correction treatment that gently reshapes the front surface of the eye while you sleep. Specially designed custom contact lenses are worn overnight and removed each morning, allowing you to enjoy clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses.
Ortho-K is an excellent option for children & teenagers and young adults with short-sightedness (myopia), particularly those with active lifestyles or who participate in sport.
Why Choose Ortho-K?
- Freedom from glasses and daytime contact lenses
- Clear vision throughout the day
- Ideal for sport, swimming and active lifestyles
- Reversible and non-surgical
- Comfortable overnight lens wear
- Proven to help slow the progression of childhood myopia
Ortho-K for Myopia Control
As children's eyes grow, increasing short-sightedness can lead to a greater risk of eye diseases later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma and myopic macular degeneration.
Extensive research has shown that Orthokeratology can significantly slow the progression of myopia by reducing the rate at which the eye grows. This makes Ortho-K one of the most effective evidence-based treatments available for managing childhood myopia.
Our optometrists will determine whether Ortho-K is the most appropriate option based on your child's prescription, eye health and lifestyle.
